That was fun...

Player(s) of the game:To single out one player would be a shame. The Sonics made the entire Spurs team look like a bunch of superstars. But for consistency's sake let's do this. Tony Parker had 29 points on 11-18 shooting and had 9 points on 4-4 shooting in the 1st 8 minutes of the game. I have promised not to mention certain topics for the remainder of the playoffs so, readers, please read betweenthese: ---- "____ _______" -----.

Breakdown:- Welcome back to Earth, Jerome and all us demented Sonics fans.- If anyone attempts to justify the injuries as being the primary cause of this Sonics' loss, they will have all commenting privileges taken away.

Reasons to remain optimistic:- Crickets chirping...

- X-rays? Negative. Hallelujah.- Due to NBA playoff guidelines, there was no technical way that the Spurs could count that can of whoop-ass for anything more than a 1-0 series lead.- Collison, for the few brief moments he was in there, looked like he carried some the late season, 1st round, energy minutes over into this game.- Lewis, for a very scant few minutes in the 4th, reattached his frank and beans to his groin, and got a few promising slop points in at the end.- (Heading to kitchen, scrounging through cabinets, looking for any more straws to grasp. Negative.)

Question(s) of the night:- Can Ray be as effective playing ball on a sprained knee as he is playing the gee-tar and singing?- Lewis: You've lost... that no-one-can-stop me feeeeling, woa-oah, that unstopabble feeling. Can you get it back in time to make it a series?- Will the Sonics read and react?
